LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Riven looked at the whirlwind around her, her eyes were a little confused.

Why did I get such power?

Was it the Goddess who heard her prayers and lent her, a sinner, temporarily in order for her to help save Fiya and the others?

As Riven thought about it, her thoughts became more and more complicated.

Fiya and the others didn't have as many as she thought.

They all looked excitedly at the thread of faith drawn from their bodies, and couldn't help but murmur to themselves: "It turns out that we already have faith, and we are all formal leaders!"

Saying that, Fiya and the others followed Riven's example and closed their eyes to pray.

Then, Fear, who didn't understand the magic of wind before, and even those mortal sailors who didn't understand magic at all, suddenly "comprehended" the power of wind just like Riven just now.

Although their wind was weak, it was clearly of extraordinary strength. It is possible for mortals to master magic without warning, which only God can do.

"This..." The attitude of the Noxians suddenly changed.

"Miss Orianna." General Lester looked over solemnly: "My subordinates don't understand the rules. If I offend you, please don't take it to heart."

The words sound soft, but the tone is still strong.

Before Riven could answer, he immediately asked, "But this is Ionia, an overseas territory of the Noxus Empire."

"The leader is not staying in Zaan, what are you doing here?"

Riven quickly hid the excitement and confusion in her eyes, and replied seriously: "I am here to contact Ionian merchants on behalf of the Leader Association to discuss grain export business."

After all, she is a fake leader, and it's fine to pretend to be a leader to save people, but she dare not "help" the leader to speak out.

If there is some diplomatic accident and troubles for the leader, then her crime will be even more serious.

So Riven only gave herself the name of a special envoy for food procurement, and didn't make up any diplomatic missions for herself.

It just so happened that Fei Ya's family was engaged in the export business of food and agricultural products, so it was reasonable for her to appear here with Fei Ya.

"I see." General Lester reluctantly believed it.

Zaun wants to ensure the security of food supply, promote the diversification of import channels, and privately bypass the empire to buy food in Ionia, which also makes sense strategically.

"But it's a pity..." The Noxus smiled triumphantly, and said lightly on the ground: "This land also belongs to the empire from now on."

"If you leaders want to talk about food business, wait until this war is over, no, you don't even need to wait for the end of the war... just come and talk to me right now."

"I can assure you that the grain exports of Balua province will not be affected by the war. When we get rid of those hamster-like Ionians, the grain exports here will only be more, not less."

"..." Riven remained silent noncommittally.

Lester was not surprised either.

After all, Zaun is not short of food now, but imports are completely dependent on Noxus, and there is a lack of food not supplied by the empire.

It is understandable that Riven, the "grain purchase ambassador", does not want to discuss the grain business with him.

And...whether she came here to buy food, or for some other ulterior purpose, Lester didn't intend to let these leaders run around on the frontline battlefield of the empire.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will not bother."

"Recently, the empire will launch a full-scale offensive in the province of Barua. The battlefield is full of dangers and swords have no eyes. Please take a good rest in the mansion and don't go out for a few days."

As he said that, Lester turned his head and told his subordinates in front of Riven: "Send a team of rune swordsmen over to 'protect' this house—don't let anyone come in and out at will, understand?"

"Wait," Riven interrupted him.

"What?" General Lester's eyes became dangerous: "Miss Orianna, do you have any questions?"

"I have something to discuss with you, General." Riven said seriously.

"Tell me." Lester listened attentively.

"I want to save people."

"Save people?" Lester smiled: "Didn't I promise to protect this mansion and protect everyone's safety?"

"As long as you stay here these few days, don't go out, don't inquire about things you shouldn't know, and you'll be fine."

At this time, he looked harmless to humans and animals, and even had a bit of politeness that Noxians rarely had.

But Riwen said sharply: "General Lester, it's not just the people in this mansion that I want to save."

"I also want to save this whole city, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Yipu River Port."

Lester was silent for a while.

He narrowed his eyes, pretending not to know: "Miss Orianna, what do you mean?"

"Don't hide it." Riven looked over with burning eyes: "I know what you are going to do to this city."

As she spoke, perhaps because practice makes perfect, she lied almost without changing her face: "I am a direct subordinate of Director Mel, and I heard her tell a lot about the battlefield 'experience' of the Myrdalda family before I set off."

"I am too familiar with the style of the Noxus Empire."

"Block the whole city and plunder—you are preparing for a massacre, aren't you?"

Riven brought out the Mirdard family, who were also warlord leaders, and explained what she knew about Noxus.

Lester couldn't laugh anymore.

He simply tore off his mask and said coldly: "This is a problem with our Noxus and Ionia, and it has nothing to do with your leaders!"

"Goddess Janna says it's relevant, so it's relevant!" Riven confronted her tit for tat: "This is hundreds of thousands of lives! We leaders will never stand idly by!"

"You?!" Lester was annoyed, but he still held back.

Due to the prestige of the goddess Janna, he didn't dare to speak harsh words to Riven.

But this does not mean that his attitude will soften.

"Sorry, I can't agree to your request." General Lester's tone was extremely firm: "This massacre of the city did not come from my will, but from the Imperial President's Command and a direct order from His Majesty the Emperor."

"Miss Orianna, if you really understand the situation in the empire, then you should know that your conversation with me now is a waste of time."

"This..." Riven's face changed slightly.

She finally understood why Noxus suddenly launched an all-out attack on Barua Province, which was sparsely populated, resource-scarce, and had almost no geostrategic significance.

It turned out that this was the order of the mad emperor Darkwill.

He sent a large army here not to plunder any food, property, or people, or simply to kill people.

Because the Ionian war was entangled and protracted for a long time, the soldiers of Noxus became more and more tired physically and mentally, while the enemy's rebel army became more and more powerful.

So Noxus urgently needs a hearty massacre, firstly to revive morale, and secondly to deter the group of enemies.

And if this kind of performative massacre is to be carried out, the province of Barua, which has the weakest combat power, is obviously the best target.

"This battle came from the overall strategic goal of the Ionian Front Army, and also from the direct orders of His Majesty the Emperor..."

This means that this combat plan must be resolutely implemented and must not be abandoned.

At least, Lester, the "little" leader of the battle group, has no right to decide to give up the massacre at all.

If he doesn't slaughter the city, the emperor will have to slaughter him.

"It seems that you understand." Lester noticed Riven's complicated eyes: "Since you also know my difficulties, then don't waste time talking to me about these things."

"If you really want to stop this massacre, why not go directly to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"..." Riven was dumbfounded.

Just kidding, where does she have the ability to talk to the emperor?

The last time she saw this lunatic, she knelt at his feet the whole time, not even qualified to raise her head.

But is she going to give up just like that?

Do you want to watch these hundreds of thousands of people die? !

"No!" Riven had no choice but to shout, "Goddess Janna will not tolerate this happening in front of her! You must find a way to stop—"

"Otherwise the gods are offended, and no one knows what will happen!"

"You threatened me?!" Lester was very annoyed.

But seeing Riven's crazy expression of not caring, he felt a little guilty.

The goddess is not really watching here, is she? This question will always plague those who stand against the leaders.

In the end, he deliberated and made the biggest concession he could:

"Well, Miss Orianna..."

"I can give you a certain number of places. You can make a list for me these few days, as long as it doesn't exceed the number. If you want to save people, I can only let you save so many people."
